“I managed to call her only once and she narrated her torture and even feared for her life. In her post, the woman claimed that her partner was locked up in a room by her parents near Kozhikode (north Kerala) and tortured to end the relationship and change her sexual orientation. In the post, the woman further claimed that she was assaulted by her partner’s parents when she tried to prevent them from taking the latter away on May 26. However, the police claimed that it had intervened in the matter right from the start and that the other woman - a Kozhikode native - had given in writing that she was leaving with her parents willingly. On May 28, the 23-year-old woman in a social media post claimed that her lesbian partner, a Kozhikode native, was forcibly taken away by the latter’s family and also alleged that the police refused to entertain her complaint saying her parents have every right to take or keep their daughter. The bench declared the 156-year-old “tyranny” of Section 377, which punished homosexuality with 10-year imprisonment, as “irrational, indefensible and manifestly arbitrary”.

On September 6, 2018, a five-judge Constitution Bench, led by then chief justice of India Dipak Misra unanimously held that the criminalisation of private consensual sexual conduct between adults of the same sex under Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) is “clearly unconstitutional”. The petitioner, a native of Ernakulam, also cited the Supreme Court’s landmark judgment from 2018 that decriminalised homosexuality in the country. The petitioner said she was forced to talk to the media and approach the court as her “hopes receded after approaching the police”. We thank all who supported us,” the couple told a local channel after the verdict, adding that they intend to relocate to Chennai eventually. The court then allowed the same and passed an order to that effect. Both women informed the court about their intention to live together. Proceedings were held in-camera and no one other than the couple were allowed in the court room. On Tuesday, the division bench of justices Vinod Chandran and C Jayachandran meet both the women separately and later together. Taking cognisance of the plea, the high court directed the parents of the petitioner’s partner to produce her before it. The petitioner also claimed that her partner was forced by her parents to undergo rigorous counselling and therapy to change her sexual orientation.

The woman, in her petition, said both she and her partner are adults and within their legal rights to live together. The order came while a division bench was hearing a habeas corpus petition filed by a 23-year-old woman on Monday, seeking the court’s help in finding her same-sex partner. The Kerala high court on Tuesday reunited a lesbian couple and allowed them to live together, days after they were separated by their parents who did not approve of their relationship.
